Effectiveness Of Auricular Orthosis In The Treatment Of Children With Congenital Auricular Deformity

Objective To explore the treatment effects of domestic auricular orthosis on children born with congenital auricular deformity.Methods Children born with congenital auricle deformity were treated by "Yi Er" auricle orthosis,included 42 ears of 29 cases.These children were divided into three groups according to the birth age.The age less than 7 days was divided into group 1,7-42 days for group 2,and more than 42 days for group 3.Compare the therapeutic effect in children with different age.Results The therapeutic effect was divided into three grades: markedly effective and cured(basically return to normal appearance);effective(improved,but not reached the normal appearance);invalid(no improvement after treatment).The markedly effective and cured rate in group1,group2 and group 3 were 100%,85.71% and 45%,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the average correction time were(20.7±6.50)days,(32.64±15.40)days,(48.23±17.32)days,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05)Conclusion The domestic auricle orthosis has a significant effect on the correction of children who born with congenital auricular deformity.The better treatment effect and the shorter wearing time can be acquired in the early correction.
